After missing the better part of a year, he still needs to get his sea legs back.Paul DePodestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02560758061177027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-13572500675890925382010-08-06T10:03:56.174-07:002010-08-06T10:03:56.174-07:00Paul,

To that point, most of our guys have improved dramatically after the first month or tow. We're pretty happy with what all of our teenager position players there have done - Rincon, Galvez, and Everett Williams.Paul DePodestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02560758061177027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-5058998453297094232010-08-04T18:55:26.918-07:002010-08-04T18:55:26.918-07:00Why was the decision made to demote Craig Cooper a...Why was the decision made to demote Craig Cooper and Lance Zawadski to San Antonio?sdsuaztec4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09390428921911394261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-73646793902210275722010-08-04T18:02:49.742-07:002010-08-04T18:02:49.742-07:00Paul, thanks for the video on Mo...very enlighteni...Paul, thanks for the video on Mo...very enlightening, because, YES, I have actually always wondered how he was so dominant with one pitch.<br /><br />Question for you: Is there an explanation for the drop in Edinson Rincon's BA this year from past years? It also seems like he's suddenly walking at a much lower rate, and his OBP is down almost 100 points from where he was the past two seasons. Is there that big of a difference in the pitching he's facing at Fort Wayne than the pitching he faced at Eugene? (Still, you guys have to be encouraged by how the kid has progressed before his 20th birthday.)Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171693844131683879noreply@blogger.com
